This dataset includes the names, locations, and contact information for sites across NYS where WIC services are delivered. The data also includes the names, locations, and contact information for the agencies who oversee WIC vendors in NYS (WIC Vendor Management Agencies). The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offers nutrition education, breastfeeding support, referrals and a variety of nutritious foods to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding or postpartum women, infants and children up to age five to promote and support good health. WIC improves the health of pregnant women, new mothers and their infants and children. The foods provided through WIC are a good source of nutrients often missing from the diets of women and young children. WIC participants have longer, healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births.

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a nutrition education and meal reimbursement program helping providers serve nutritious and safely prepared meals and snacks to children and adults in day care settings. This dataset includes the names and locations of participating day care sites and whether or not the site is Breastfeeding Friendly Certified with CACFP, participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) project, or participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Day Care Homes (EWPHDCH) project. This dataset excludes Child and Adult Care Food Program participation provided at homeless shelters and legally-exempt day care home providers.

Not all counties in NYS are serviced by the grantees implementing the project EWPHCSS.

The EWPHDCH project is currently limited to the areas served by the contracted agencies.

The Child and Adult Care Food Program dataset is related to the Child Care Related Programs dataset on the www.Open.ny.gov website, however this dataset includes additional nutrition information. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is currently working to update the Child Care Related Programs dataset on a more frequent schedule with the OPEN NY team. OCFS and DOH will then be able to synchronize in the near future. Temporarily, DOH has omitted addresses for regulated child care providers that provide home care since this information is available on www.Open.ny.gov by using this link: https://data.ny.gov/Human-Services/Child-Care-Regulated-Programs/cb42-qumz.

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing, population-based risk factor surveillance system designed to identify and monitor selected maternal experiences and behaviors that occur before, during, and shortly after pregnancy, among a stratified sample of mothers delivering a live birth. PRAMS is a partnership with the CDC and presently exists in 50 jurisdictions, including 47 states, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. In NYC, PRAMS participants are randomly selected from the City’s birth certificate records (approximately 2,100 participants per year).

This dataset contains the number of New York State live births stratified by the mother's race/ethnicity, and measure. Measures include attendant at birth, birthweight, how infant is fed, infant’s sex, marital status, method of delivery, mother’s age, mother’s education, pre-pregnancy BMI, order of birth, place of birth, plurality, prenatal care began, and primary financial coverage. The data presented here may not be the same as the Vital Statistics tables on the DOH public web due to data updates.
